Hours and Access

ArtSeed’s office is open 9am-5pm, Monday through Friday.

To visit ArtSeed’s office during normal business hours, enter the Thoreau Center through the entrance at Buildings 1007, 1008, and 1009. Make an immediate left through the wooden double doors and ArtSeed’s office, Suite #206, will be the first office door on your left.

When entering the Thoreau Center through Tides at the front of the building (1012 Torney Avenue), continue through the double doors at the far left leading to a window-lined passageway. Make a right at the end of the hall through the wooden double doors and ArtSeed’s office, Suite #206, will be the first office door on your left.

On weekends and holidays, call ahead and come prepared with your cell phone so that someone can let you in the building. We will also hang a purple rock climbing rope from our office window connected to a ringing bell. If you see it, give the rope a tug, and let us know you are here!

Driving Directions to the Thoreau Center for Sustainability

Park in the asphalt lot on your right where you will find the accessible ramp that leads to the Thoreau Center entrance.
